5% DEPOSITS ARE BACK (FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS!):
First-time buyers with just a 5% deposit will receive a boost from tomorrow (Wednesday 17th March) as intermediary-only mortgage provider, Accord, become the first lender to return to the 95% LTV market.
They’re launching a five-year fixed rate mortgage – exclusively to first-time buyers. The new product has a fixed rate of 3.99% and comes with a £995 fee and FREE standard valuation. It’s available up to a maximum borrowing of £500,000.
Accord will not be using the government’s mortgage guarantee scheme for this product and, unfortunately, it’s NOT available for flats, new builds or properties in Northern Ireland.
To qualify for the new product, first-time buyers will be able to borrow a maximum of 4.49 times their income.
As the first new 5% deposit mortgage to come back onto the market, it’s sure to be massively popular so could be withdrawn at relatively short notice.
